You must try different directions in order to find the magnetization easy axis. Such a direction is perhaps experimentally know in your case. Thus you can check by considering few crystallographic directions. Should I always use positive values for (h k l)? Or should I choose (0 0 1) when I pre

Dear Peter and Wien2k users, For the spin-orbit case, when we run initso_lapw, we are prompted to choose the moment direction >Please select the direction of the moment ( h k l ) I notice that the choices of e.g., (0 0 1) and (0 0 -1) give slight different values. In particular, when I
